More than 75 percent of Taiwan’s Buddhist clergy, ordained since 1953, are women. This reality has created tensions in Taiwanese Buddhist circles. Since the 1990s, Bhiksuni Zhaoui has been promoting gender equality for Buddhist nuns. In 2002, she began the movement to abolish the Eight Special Conditions for nuns. This paper will introduce this movement as well as the strategy and discourse introduced by Zhaohui. It will discuss how the instigation of Dual Ordination has posed certain problems for reconsidering the Eight Special Conditions for Nuns and will discuss the public debate begun in 1992.
